...insulting remarks either shouted out by individuals or in chorus. That this was not altogether done by freshmen is the greater pity. Indeed, the whole performance was so scandalous that our delegation seriously intended to remain away from the dinner which had been prepared for them. Yale has always rather gloried in this sort of thing, but she received so much censure on account of the methods she employed to win her Dartmouth games two years ago, and the freshman game the same year, that we hoped she had mended her manners; and last year justified our hopes...
There will be a special examination in English XII, in Sever 5, to-day, at 10 o'clock, for all those who prefer to take the examination then rather than at the scheduled time. Mr. Wendell requests that as many men as possible take the examination to-day as a favor...
...this the only nuisance that has invaded the yard. Last Monday a couple of valorous Frenchmen, or Italians, for some one hundred and twenty eight consecutive minutes, made day hideous with their mournful lays, or rather with their Marseillaise, and with other tunes of merry France, and awakened tender memories of "dear Parce," in the breast of many a sober "grind."

The eighth inning was also disastrous for '87, when '88 made four runs through errors...
...remain with the 'varsity crew until the New London races are over. In the correspondence that preceded his arrival in this country, Chainey, the English coach, was made to thoroughly understand that he was not employed to give instructions in the British style of rowing. His service would be rather to consolidate this with the American system, taking from each the good that was in them and producing something better than either. He was, moreover, to rig the boat and adapt it to the stroke determined upon, and in other ways make himself useful to the crew. For this...
